There is only one word to describe yesterday.  LAZY.  Hannah was off yesterday and while we thought we’d have our cleaning/laundry/productive pants on, turns out we had lay on the couch watching t.v. pants on until nearly 3 p.m.!  Normally on my days off of work I try to do so much, but I just felt like doing nothing with Hannah and it was glorious. ...

I realized I needed to use up some of the leftover pork roast from Labor Day, and what better use than to make breakfast taquitos!  Pretty sure I could eat any type of Mexican food any day or meal of the week and never get sick of it.  I used 3 Mission thin tortillas (4) and on the inside added 3 ounces of leftover pork...

It’s amazing when you have an organized pantry what you realize you have on hand.  I have no less than four cans of mandarin oranges, five cans of water chestnuts and six cans of tomato paste.  What I also found was a whole drawer full of red potatoes.  Thanks for doing such a great job organizing the pantry Hannah, I promise I’ll try to keep...

I hadn’t been to Weight Watchers in two weeks, so I had no idea how my weigh in was going to be.  Working two jobs last week every day meant my eating was all over the place.  Not that I ate bad necessarily, but there were times when I ate a late breakfast and lunch, and got home late and never ate anything for dinner...

It felt so good to start my day with stretching – it kind of eased my way into the day.  It’s been in the low 30s in the morning still around here, so it was nice to be comfy in my pjs doing stretches. I had a low carb breakfast yesterday.  Not that I am doing a low carb diet at all, but I think...

Thanks for all your sweet comments yesterday on my transformation Tuesday!  I have to tell you, just seeing that comparison photo has given me even more inspiration to keep doing what I am doing.  Making this a lifestyle and not a diet.  Truth be told though, it doesn’t really “taste” like a diet.  I haven’t really been counting calories – I only put stuff into...

I wish I had more definitive news about Tony, but sadly he’s got two more days of tests before we have a plan of action.  I can’t be more specific now until I have all the information.  That’s one thing I don’t like about Mayo is that they never second guess a thing.  They tackle one problem, move to the next.  I wish I could...

This Jack in the Box Taco Recipe will be your go to taco recipe.  So good! This recipe first published in 2013 and has now finally been updated 10 years later! My late husband loved Jack in the Box tacos, but sadly they closed all of their Illinois locations long ago. These tacos ARE THE REAL DEAL!  Not sure I would know if the difference...

UPDATE!  Wow, this recipe is from 2009 and you get the benefit of enjoying my old food photography – you’re welcome!  The ingredient list and new photo are new as of today – Augusts 29, 2023 😂. I’ve also added a printable recipe card.👌🏻     We all agreed because they weren’t so sweet, they didn’t taste like sloppy joes at all – but we...
